    I started going to the gym every day, 60 min a day of cardio (sometimes 30 min cardio, 30 min of weights), and I haven't lost pounds or inches. In fact, I've gained 1/2" around the waist. When I try to cut calories, I get too hungry during the day and too weak/not motivated to exercise more. So I'm in a slump, much like you are.

    I don't weigh my food using a scale, so maybe that's something I should try too. I am also going to focus on drinking more water.

    It is very discouraging to be working so hard and not see any physical changes :( But I do notice my strength and stamina have improved a lot! So I FEEL better, generally. Just not LOOK better :p (in my opinion, of course!)

    My weight fluctuates, but my waist is consistently shrinking. My face is thinner as well. You can't go off of weight alone. Try upping your calories slowly.

    If you had a four inch square of fat and muscle. The muscle will weigh more. You are correct about a lb. being a lb.
